A creature I just modded in just...doesn't die.
Everything in it is broken, it's bleeding like a pig and yet it refuses to die.

What is going on and how can I fix it ?

If you could post the creature's raws, it would be easier to see if there is something wrong. There could be a few things, but it without any information I can only take a guess at what might be causing this.

That's an odd one. Are you using any mods?

From the looks of the errorlog, it seems that you are missing all your metals.

[Urist Mc Dwarf]

Yes. Fanciful creatures and FD. The thing is, it says the missing metals were in the creature file, but there actually are no metals.

[Tsuchigumo550]

I plan to build a relatively minor mod, but I haven't done anything mod related in a loooong time.

The first thing I'm trying to build are "rune stones", which adventurers can interact with to learn new abilities.

Spoiler: the interaction (click to show/hide)

[INTERACTION:RUNE_STONE]
   [I_SOURCE:CREATURE_ACTION]
   [I_TARGET:A:CREATURE]
      [IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
      [IT_REQUIRES:CAN_LEARN]
   [I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
      [IE_TARGET:A]
      [IE_IMMEDIATE]

Do I need to specify WHAT syndrome it inflicts somehow? I want each individual gem, or possibly three groups of them (based on worth), that rune stones are crafted from to grant adventurers a syndrome that gives them an interaction. A ruby could be turned into a Ruby Runestone, which might give the adventurer, say, dragonbreath.
Do I need separate interactions for every single stone/syndrome?

[Putnam]

Yes to all.

Also, items can't give syndromes or interactions without DFHack.

[Tsuchigumo550]

Hmm...

So I wouldn't be able to add, say, an adventurer reaction that uses up a type of item that gives the adventurer a skill? Bummer. I guess I could change it to give other kinds of items, maybe... like weapons, or armor or something.

That way, I could make a Fortress workshop that actually creates the stone that requires a gem and a weapon.
It would be nice to have, say, low-worth gems always generate their weapon/armor with relatively weak metals, and stuff like diamonds generating very good weapons. I'd prefer it if I only had to create three stones for every weapon, that chooses a random metal based on tier.

---

The mod I intend to create is meant to up the amount of civs/siegers there are, adds some new, interesting creatures, adds a few new metals, weapon types, and plants, and maybe some other small things. Fortresses will have new workshops that craft items of varying use to adventurers- these are generally able to generate worth, but are less useful to fortress dwarves. Creating a weapon-stone won't help the fortress, except for the fact it's got more worth on average than the gem that went into it.

The idea is to make the fort something that players would rather go back to once it falls as an adventurer, rather than reclaim or simply let it die.

[Putnam]

You could always boiling stone, yeah.

Skill, no. Read.

[Nahere]

Skill can be done through reactions however. If a reaction gives you a whole bunch of products that boil away you'll still get experience for each one (about 30xp per product I think).

So there can be a reaction that will instantly make you Legendary+1337 in everything?

No, only one skill can be used for a reaction at a time. Though you can have a reaction that causes one skill to jump from dabbling to legendary, if there are enough products.

Be aware that this tends to crash the game when you start using very large numbers of boiling stones.  What I do for extreme skill gains, instead, is use a container with PRESERVE_REAGENT, create a whole bunch of useless powder items, and then have an automatic reaction to destroy them.

Hi guys

I'm working on entities and related creatures atm, but wanted to ask 2 questions for the future in the meantime.

1) Regarding creature petvalue for the purposes of butchering:
Can I set different castes of the same creature, eg cows, to have different values, so that some caste's meat/bones etc, are of higher or lower value than other castes?

2) Is it possible for me to make a plant, e.g. a tobacco plant, and after being grown and harvested, use the produce as a reagent at a workshop, to make a new economic product, eg in this case: Cigars?
It's not intended to be usable, just for trade. Unless it is possible to make the new product edible - specifically desired for chocolate, tea, coffee etc

[Putnam]

1. Yes, but the caste needs to use different materials entirely than the rest of the castes
2. Of course

[TheOnlySolitaire]

Thanks for the quick reply Putnam.

If I understand you correctly then, I need to make new higher value leathers etc, and assign them to the new castes, to replace the standard creatures leathers etc. Is that right?

I've had a quick search, but can't find where meat is defined in the raws... How do I change its value, or is it derived from the muscle layer?

Sorry for not understanding, I'm still getting to grips with modding.
